Welsh Sec D -are they all they are cracked up to be??

well actually I think that is totally the opposite of what we are saying.

We or I (although some others agree) have actually said that you have to maybe work a bit harder with the WS D to instill manners not ok they are bad mannered but thats because they are WS D's:D:D

And those D's and owners I have no problem with ;)

I was on a livery yard with 2 very badly behaved section D's. To the point where one of them pinned my up against a fence and could have killed me. His owner was stood next to him but couldn't move him as he had so little respect for her or me or anyone else. Reaction from owners when things like that happened - "He's a section D". They are the owners I have a big problem with. The ones who think it's ok no matter what happens and it's excused by the breed of their horse.

They are the ones who get the breed a bad name. And they are the ones that all too often people remember.

Makes life more difficult for the rest of you ;)
 
I sort of see your point but that is purely down to a BAD BAD owner:p who would probably be the same with a Jack Russell letting it nip your ankles:p:D:rolleyes:

OMG have all the Jack Russell owners on now:D:D:eek:
 
My boys Dad was Synod Robert Black (to die for) and all the lines are there,
Derwen, Parc, Brenin and Nebo, Derwen Railway Express was his Great Grandad on one side and the other funnily enough(!!!!!.

They are all there Nebo Black Magic, Derwen Railway Express, Derwen Dairy Express, Parc Dafydd etc.

Have never found any info on Mum, Twynmelyn Black Lady, although can find Grand dam Twynmelyn Chess.
 
Twynmelyn Black Lady is the grand-dam of a chesnut gelding near me, he also has blaze and 4 whites, very similar. His sire is Twynmelyn Temptation who was sold to Spain some years ago and was doing really well showjumping over there.

I do like the Derwen bloodlines, both my mares are kind of related as the sire of one is full brother to the dam of my other, both Derwen breeding.

Have visited the Derwen stud last year, fantastic place. And this year I've covered one of my mares with the lovely Derwen Trot-On - can't wait till next year now:o

Is your boy Twynmelyn prefix?
 
I have a welsh D, he has two personalities. One day he's a dope on a rope, the next he's not :p suppose it makes horse owning fun!

Inside every welsh cob is the fire to what the breed is labelled by. However different cobs have different jobs eg. showing. The Cobs that are sucessful in the showring are the ones with fire which is needed and loved by all who watch them (well most).How spectacular is it to see a Welsh Cob showing itself off and loving every minute.I know it sends tingles down my spine!
They are the cobs that you will see with the more experienced welsh handler who know their horses and how they like to perform and know how to keep them inline.

Welsh Cobs as allrounders are fabulous. They can turn their hands to everything from dressage to hunting to showing. I personally wouldnt have anything other.

Their temprement depends on the person handling. If you have bad habits around them then they will easily catch onto this but tell me what horse doesnt?

What im trying to say is dont stereotype the welsh cob. Ive found them to be one of the most versatile allrounders. With the right handling they can be the perfect horse for any novice and will more than likely grow. I have to agree though they do have a wicked sense of humour and a fab personality :):)

There seem to be an awful lot bad owners out there...:p
 
I think they are stunning! You guys are right about people being irresposible though.... up until a couple of months ago I didnt realise how different w sd ws from a 'cob'. A RS had a 6 year old advertised as an easy ride, going like he was much older, and suggested he would be suitable for me in my first horse quest!:rolleyes: I was wowed by him, but as soon as I started to handle him on the ground I instantly realised this is was too much for me! My Irish Cob is only 6, but jings - she is a world apart from the welshy. I have since met people with them and still admire and swoon from afar!... but that lad really set himself apart, and I couldnt put my finger on it, only I knew he was something on a different level to anything Id seen before.
 
My first propper horse was a welshie d! She was really sweet, I could gallop her around and she would only occasionally throw in the odd buck! :P But i was confident then! I think she must of just been galloped around before we got her, too much, thats all they used to do with her, so when i started jumping her
At the begining she was really good and i got up to about 2"6 with her, untill one day she just turned, galloped, bucked, bronked, and i lost reins and stirrups
I ended up landing inbetween a pile of bricks and a telegraph pole (lucky i think!!!) But i did brake my arm
And because i couldnt get back on and sort it out, she jsut did it everytime I got on her or my mum or anyone got on her. It took my RI to get on her and just smack her so hard, and she gave in, but i dont really like doing that:o lol
Anyway!! she was perfect for hacking so we sold her to a teenager who wanted something to hack around, and she is getting on perfectly....
So I would say, they are nice allround horses, but once theyve got something in there head, there hard to get out of!:p heres some piccies!

I used to have a welsh section D, and she is the prettiest, kindest horse ever :) She is very young, so therefore very nervous, but I think they are a really rewarding breed and they also have a really good sense of humour :D:D

Couple of shots of my lovely lad. He's by Maesmynach Viking Warrior out of a Lllanarth Flying Comet mare, so excellent breeding on both sides.
 
I think i started this thread expecting to be shot down in flames a bit:D


But most of you agree:) So it seems that if the handling of a Welsh Sec D is right from the beginning you get a loyal lovable horse that once you have built its trust and the right relationship will do almost anything for you, however should you get it wrong along the way, it has no hesitation in reminding you.

However, if you get the one that has had not had the correct amount of handling and discipline you get a welshie that is bolshy, arrogant and too full of its own importance, that will remind you at any and every oportunity just who you are dealing with, how full of his own importance he really is and how he will dump you for his own amusement:D:D:

Bit like an ex Welsh boyfriend of mine, the latter:D:D except he did not even have a sense of humour, and was no where near as good looking as my horse, lol:D:D:D:D
